Sunday Killer Link Love Post #33

July 11, 2010 · 26 comments

Time flies pretty fast and it’s another week, I’ve been writing Sunday Link Love post for a couple months. Each weekend, I collect and share 10 useful and interesting articles from blogger fellows, article topics cover blogging tips, make money online, search engine optimization, traffic building, affiliate marketing, social media and etc.

The guest posting contest had been ended and all the winners were announced, the result was out of my expectation. I’ll be holding another simple contest and be sure you take part too. After the next simple contest, I’ll be holding another big one, if I say BIG then it’s going to be really BIG! Don’t be serious, let’s see in the coming days.

Top 10 Sunday Killer Link Love Posts

2) Be a Kid Again and Make Your Blog Stand Out – DailyBlogTips
There’s a funny story which has been circulating for years, about how NASA scientists tried to solve the problem of getting a ballpoint pen to work in space. They spent a huge amount of money on this problem. In the end, Soviet scientists solved the problem by using a pencil. This is a classic example of creative thinking, or as corporate speak puts it, ‘thinking outside of the box’.

4) 10 Tricks To Get Your Readers Commenting – HowToMakeMyBlog
If you’re like me, you’re a blogger that thrives on comments. Getting loads of traffic on a post is awesome, but if I can get a load of comments responding to my post, I do back flips (in my mind). If you’re not like me, that’s okay. We’ll help you get some comments anyway. Here are some tricks for getting more comments, that I’ve picked up throughout my experience as a blogger. They might just work for you too…

5) 5 Expert Tips To Sell WordPress Themes On Your Blog – CatsWhoBlog

Promoting WordPress themes is a profitable niche right now, but as the competition is becoming harder every day there’s a few things to know in order to be successful. Here are 5 expert tips taken from my experience as a successful WordPress affiliate marketer.

6) 3 Great Ways to Get Rid of Writer’s Block – BlogGoDown
Writer’s Block – The term that is used generally for writers who aren’t able to write because there mind gets clogged. It may be due to lack of ideas, or maybe due to a bad mood. Whatever may be the reason, the problem is still that author is not able to write.

7) 7 Guaranteed Ways to Reduce Your Blog Bounce Rate – TechNShare
If you read Dev’s june traffic report, you will notice He has a very low bounce rate of about 28.38%. One of the things I noticed in common in the comments section is that a number of people were complaining about high bounce rates so I decided to write a post on how to reduce your bounce rate.

8 ) 5 Essential Pages Every Blog Needs – WeBlogBetter
Many times, when I stumble upon a great blog, I want to know more. I like diving in and exploring the various layers of a blog. I like to connect and get to know the blogger. I want to know who they are and what they do. I want to be able to quickly access information. It should be easy to subscribe to your blog and follow you on Twitter. I hate it when I land on a blog and have to search around for social media icons just so I can follow you on Twitter.

9) From Soup to Nuts, Driving Traffic with Blog Commenting – FamousBloggers
Most people still view blog commenting as one of those little ways that can drive some traffic to their blogs. In my posts that I recently published in Comluv, I outlined how those small things can lead to bigger things, like forming business partnership, reaping the rewards and so on. But then with that post I got so many questions on how to really benefit from it especially when just starting out. Lo and behold, I’m now going to write this definitive article on how to drive traffic using blog commenting.

10) How I Got 253 Twitter ReTweets On 5 Posts – JohnPaulaguiar
People are always asking me how they can get their tweets re-tweeted and how to drive traffic from twitter. So I wanted to put this post together to give you an overview of how I get more RTs and more traffic. When I first started on Twitter with my @JohnAguiar account, I had the same problem as you, I couldn’t get an RT even with some begging..lol It took me about 3 months to bring together what I needed to start driving more traffic to my blog and getting more RT’s.

Personal Ramblings

I’m in the semester break week, I should have more time writing article and manage my blog, unfortunately I’m staying in new house and the area doesn’t have network port yet, the technician said it might takes weeks or months to get it done, that’s killing me.

Anyway, FIFA World Cup 2010 is going to be ended soon. The coming match will be Germany vs Uruguay, I believe that Germany would take 3rd place. The FINAL will be Spain vs Netherland, I’ll support Spain! Paul, the Germany Octopus chose Germany and Spain will the winner on both games too, let’s see whether Paul did the right prediction and do 100% accuracy on its’ prediction on FIFA 2010 instead of 80% on Euro 2008.

FIFA World Cup 2010 is going to be ended, how do you feel?

Good round up Lee. I have not been able to read many blogs this week so your round up is helpful to me so I can skip right to the good stuff. I did read the Madonna post on Blogussion and found it to be creative and informative.

I think next time you should be more specific with your titles. You gave the impression we were going to read tips on blogging, not a line up of other peoples works on blogging better. I liked the way you gave a brief summary of each of those articles though.
Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate line up of peoples work, its great, but you should state it in your title and not bring people to your website under false impressions…

Thanks :)

@Tola,
Sorry about that Tola, that might one of the marketing strategies to attract people to click and read my blog. Between, the title is blogging related as well as my blog niche, if they don’t find the blog post useful, they can still read other blogging related articles in my blog, I believe that would help to make my blog more sticky. Anyway, I’ll see what I can do with the title and not to get people confuse. :D

Thanks for reading this blog Tola.

Good to see some nice post on this link luv series. Lee I have changed my blog to article directory. Please let me know how good my idea to make the article directory.

Lee Ka Hoong July 18, 2010 at 3:42 pm

@chandan,
Hey chandan didn’t hear from you for quite some times. I’m surprised to see that you change your blog to article directory, between I’ve seen many similar article directories out there, so in order to stand out, you might need a stand out theme for your directory and promote it everywhere. :) Good luck to your article directory!

chandan from submit free articles July 18, 2010 at 6:32 pm

Yes Lee, I have searched for different theme for article directory. But I did not get any theme that I could use for my article directory. I am now busy with the promotion of my site.

Reply

Lee Ka Hoong July 18, 2010 at 7:57 pm

@chandan,
In that case, then you may want to get a paid theme for your article directory, or outsource it to a designer. Keep up the great work and good luck chandan. :)
